Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Medical imaging
  • Biomedical engineering

Background:

  • Accurate measurement of the angle of lateral opening (ALO) is crucial in hip arthroplasty.
  • Existing methods for intraoperative ALO assessment can be complex or imprecise.
  • The BioMedtrix BFX acetabular component features a recess that projects as an ellipse at varying ALO values.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a novel fluoroscopic method for categorizing ALO.
  • To determine the association between actual ALO and categorization based on a visible elliptical recess.
  • To assess the feasibility of using fluoroscopy for intraoperative ALO estimation.

Main Methods:

  • A custom jig with an inclinometer and a BFX acetabular component was used.
  • Fluoroscopic reference images were acquired at 35, 45, and 55 degrees ALO with 10 degrees retroversion.
  • A blinded observer categorized 30 randomized fluoroscopic images based on the visible elliptical recess.

Main Results:

  • The fluoroscopic categorization method demonstrated perfect agreement (30/30) with actual ALO values.
  • A weighted kappa coefficient of 1 indicated flawless concordance.
  • The method proved highly reliable in distinguishing between different ALO categories.

Conclusions:

  • The evaluated fluoroscopic method accurately categorizes the angle of lateral opening (ALO).
  • This technique offers a simple and effective approach for estimating intraoperative ALO.
  • The findings support the clinical utility of this fluoroscopic method in hip arthroplasty procedures.
